Set of the Month

2002 Studio is a 275-card set issued in two separate series. In response to the disappointing sales of the previous year's Studio, the 2002 version was reconfigured and sold at a price point more in-line with the brand's 1990s hey day.

The first 250 cards were released in July as part of the Studio product. Cards 1-200 feature veterans while cards 201-250 feature rookies and prospects and were all serial-numbered to 1500 copies. The base set's American Flag themed design (which, curiously, also applied to cards from the two Canadian teams) can be seen in retrospect as part of the post-9/11 patriotic symbolism of the era.

Cards 251-275 were distributed in packs of 2002 Donruss The Rookies December, 2002. These cards featured a selection of rookies and prospects and were also serial-numbered to 1500.
